Not Quite Nothing

I feel nothing
I am nothing
I am not depressed, nor enlightened
I am simply nothing

I lack the burning passion of my previous years
I am tired and worn out
There is an emptiness inside me that takes residence in my gut
I am nothing

I am not happy or sad
I do not hold a grudge even when I want to
When bad things are done to me I simply do nothing
I am nothing

Behind the fake laughs and smiles there is an emptiness
A melancholy disposition that follows me everywhere
like a tatoo or tick
Sucking the life out of me

I am tired, I am hungry
chipotle gives me comfort
When life gives me lemons and I simply do nothing
I am nothing


I AM something however 
Not fully nothing
After all finding out who you are at  age 16 is a challenge
And besides I hate lemonade

I hate the sour and sweet taste of it
A living contradiction
Not fully deciding if it is acidic or sweet
It is nothing, I am something
